About

This task is to add four additional wireless access points (for a total of 5) in the space and decommission 2 older access points.

This is a pretty straight forward task if you have run network cabling before. Each AP will need an independent run leading back to the server cabinet therefore the most time consuming part will be neatly running the wire along the ceiling to the desired AP locations.

Access Points

Thew new access points are in a box in front of the cabinet in the classroom. They are already configured. All they need is POE connected to the Local network switch.

Cable and Tools

In front of the server cabinet in the classroom is a box of cat5e cable and ethernet termination tools, tester, and supplies.


Switches

IF YOU DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE HOOKING THIS UP PLEASE LEAVE IT FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO HOOK UP.

Incorrectly plugging this in can damage equipment. Since 99% of this task is running the cable, leaving this for someone else is not a big deal.

In the server cabinet in the classroom are a lot of things but of interest for this task are the switches highlighted and labeled A and B in this picture. The organization of these cables is shameful. Fixing that is outside the scope of this task and will be another task.

A. A POE injector switch. Source ethernet goes in on the top row and powered ethernet comes out of the bottom row.

B This is the source switch for our local network.
